Robert Adragna’s September 1980 cover painting for Heavy Metal magazine.

A guy with a spacesuit and weird sword holds a woman in a gold bikini. One tentacle is wrapped around her ankle, from a group of tentacles emerging from the left, and they're standing under a trickle of a waterfall.

Artist Barry E. Jackson giving aging rockers a science-fictional overhaul in the 1980s.

The cover art for Trans (1982), an album by Neil Young. Art shows a road receding into a sunset. Left side of the road is angular/computerised/futuristic, right side is filled with pine trees. Two hitchhikers are stopping cars going in opposite directions: hiker on the left is a computer wireframe stopping an angular car; hiker on the right is a human being stopping a convertible with fins.

The wraparound cover art for Afterburner (1985) by ZZ Top showing the Eliminator car looking like a red Space Shuttle in orbit over the Earth. To the left of the picture distorted portraits of the band are forming from interstellar clouds.

Booklet art for The ZZ Top Sixpack (1987). Art shows an exaggerated portrait of the band against a polychrome splatter background.

THE ADVERSARY (1984) Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 28" x 18"   One of the rare instances when I placed real people into a cover illustration. 1/3 #art #booksky 🪐📚

A black metal space sarcophagus crackles with purple energy as it hovers mid air. The surrounding crowd is a motley mix of creatures dominating the painting left while the lower right is occupied by a more colorful throng of humans, some in courtly garb while others are armed and armored. Rising at the top of a mountain peak in the background right is a castle partially obscuring a full moon.

HARI (1985) Acrylic on Canvas - 32” x 20” Hari Seldon, the benevolent grand architect of the next millennium is seen here against the splendor of Trantor at the height of its power. It is a world completely sheathed in metal: one gigantic city that is the hub and nerve center of the Empire. 1/5 🪐📚

An elderly man bound in a wheelchair sits with eyes cast to the sky. The white satin blanket trimmed in gold and decorated with stars and planets covers his legs. Visibly beneath it, his feet are set awkwardly askew, not firmly on the ground. Beneath a white suit jacket with a raven pinned to the lapel, he wears a black mock turtleneck with diagonal stripes on the collar. He looks stately as his arms are crossed and he props a vibrant red book in his lap. Beyond the platform where he sits, the planet has been transformed into a mechanized, futuristic city as far as the eye can see. Rendered in purples and blues, surface entirely metal. Topped by saucers of various styles, towers extend to a sky rendered upward in a gradient from pink to peach.
